Vicar for Education and Chief Executive Officer of the Catholic Education Board of Management (CEBM), Fr. David Khan, hopes that students of St. Patrick’s Newtown Girls’ RC School will not have to go more than one week without school.

An electrical issue forced the all-girls primary school on Maraval Road, Port of Spain, to close last Thursday (January 8, 2026).

“Yes, it is true due to the additionally electrical capacity of the school at present the bottom floor has to be rewired,” Fr. Khan said.
